Mr. Cox has given us a very interesting speech in
opposition to the transfer of the Indian Bureau to the
war department; but we are not able to feel that tlie
argumonts advanced are conclusive. His chief, if not
only, point appears to be that the transfer means war
•with the Indians; an abandonment of all attempts to
pacify, enlighten, civilize, Christianize them; and the
adoption of a brutal exterminating policy instead. If
this is what the change implies, the united voice of the
community would be raised in opposition. It is unfor-

what does that prove ? Remember, those acts were all
done while the Indian Bureau exists, and consequently

U. S. Circuit Court has decided in favor of the companies. He
holds that the Board of Equalization was not authorized to act
as a Board of Assessors and increase the valuation of railroad
properly, but that the railroads are liable to taxation on the
county valuation, and orders the taxes on that basis to be paid
with ten per cent, interest on what haS not been paid. Most of
the compaiiies have already paid 03 per cent., and the amount
due from them is not very large.

There has been a

but the actual commercial inquiry has been upon a restricted
The supply seeking employment has been moderate, and,
scale.
in the open market, the rates of discount have had a drooping
tendency. The impression is very general that even the present
very moderate charges for accommodation cannot be maintained,
as neither commercial nor financial enterprise is calculated to
absorb our supplies of unemployed money. There is just now
scarcely any demand for gold for export. On the contrary, during
the last few days, the accumulation at the Bank has been
considerable, and there appear to be indications that the supply
held will be further augmented. The number of commercial
bills In circulation is very moderate, and as trade remains
eitremely quiet, there is no prospect of any increase. The spring
trade is remarkably inactive. The heavy losses which the public
have sustained, are producing great, if not increasing, economies.
and it will, no doubt, be long before the position of affairs has
been completely rectified. A few failures continue to take place,
but there appear to be no serious apprehensions, while there ij
reason to believe that the more judicious system of trading will
eventually establish our commerce upon a sound basis. The

California Railroad Law.— The California State Senate finally
passed the bill known as the O'Connor bill, which provides for
a board of three railroad commissioners to have general supervisory and advisory powers, to collect, statistics, and report annually.
The bill also contains provisions against discrimination,
and fixes as the maximum rates allowed to be charged the rates
in force January 1, 1876.
The bill finally passed the Assembly
without change, and went to the Governor for his signature.
Osagre Ceded Lands.— The United States Supreme Court baBJ
affirmed the decision of the Circuit Court in these cases, and the
rights of the settlers on these lands are now fully confirmed, to
the exclusion of the Missouri Kansas & Texas and the Leavenworth Lawrence & (Jalveston companies, which claimed the lands
as part of their grants.

Pacific Mail and Panama.— The Sheriff of San Francisco refused to attach any more of tlie Pacifij Mail steamers unless the
Panama Railroad Company would furnish him with additional
bonds for §000,000, in consequence of the attitude of the trustees
of the $2,000,000 mortgage oi the Pacific Mail Company, who
claim that the vessels are subject to their control.
Suit has been brought in San Francisco by the Panama Railroad Comnany against the Pacific Mail Steamship Company to
recover $338,049 due for transportation across the Isthmus.

Western Union Telegraph. -The New York Superior Court
has granted a temporary injunction, restraining the Western
Union Telegraph Company, George B. Prescott, and others, from
prosFcuting or withdrawing the applications tor the duplex and
quadruples patents, and from receiving letters patent for the
same, pending adjudication of the Atlantic & Pacific Telegraph

Company thereto.
Tbo following

—

is from the serai-annual statement of the Equitable Trust Company, March 1, 1870, whose business in guiranteeing real estate mortgages we have frequently noticed. It appears
from ihi-" that the companv up to March 1, 1876, had taken
$0,530,000 of mortgages, of which it had sold with its own
guaranty $5,663,000, and had on hand $865,000. Tlie company is
managed very conservatively, and any explanation desired of the
details of its statement will be cheerfully furnished at the office,

A further decline in speculative stocks

the markets of London and Continental cities, have been the principal features worthy of mention.
statement of bu.siness
failures for the first quarter of 187G, just issued by the Mercantile Agency of Dun, IJarlow & Co., shows that the number and
amount was considerably larger than in the corresponding quarter
of 1875, but a little below the quarter immediately preceding,
which embraced the last three months of 1875. It is hoped from
this that the tendency is toward a gradual improvement, and that
the maximum of failures was reached in the last part of
last year.

The apprehension of trouble in the London and Uernian
markets, together with the fact that Good Friday is a blank

State and Railroad Bonds.— There has been very little
doing in State bonds.
The last pales of Tennessees at the Board
were $35,000 old bonds at 43, and $5,001J new series at 41,
showing prices about the same as those of last week.
Tho trustees of the Cincinnati Southern Railway have awarded $3,000,000
of the City
per cent. 30 year gold bonds to a banking firm there

and

at 100.13

accrijod interest.

Railroad bonds, on a slow business, have shown a tendency
toward lower prices, in sympathy with stocks. It is observed
that the speculative business in bonds, which is often largo and
marked by the sales of round lots of §10,000 and upwards at the
Board, has recently been quite limited.
It is still difficult to find
really first-class 7 per cent, bonds below pur, and where prices
have yielded at all it is generally on the less substantial securities,
which hold a position among bonds analagous to the " fancies"
on tho speculative list of stocks.

The stock market,
and a geui^ral declining tendency
during the previous days, showed a decided weakness on Thurs-

Railroad and miscellaneous Stocks.

after considerable irregularity

day, %Tith a fall in prices to the lowest point yet reached in the
present movement. In connection with the bear influence
exerted in the market, the reports of a disagreement at the
meeting of railroad managers in Chicago, had much to do with
the weakness in Lake Shore and Michigan Central, which were
especially conspicuous.
As to the facts of the railroad negotiations at Cliicago over
freight and pa.ssenger rates, it is known that a moderate reduction on grain and flour was made a few days ago, as usual about
the time Lake navigation opens, but no break has yet taken place
between the managers of the " pool " lines, although the telegrams indicate that Mr. Joy of the Michigan Central is dissatisfied.
Apainst the Western Union Telegraph were urged the
recent reduction of the A. & P. Hue on night messages, and the
temporary injunction again.st the company's use of the duplex
and quadruplcx system until the right to it is settled. Pacific
Mail declines in the absence of any hopelul development respecting the company's affairs, though there are undoubtedly many

party possibly "the leading: operator" and bulled
again.
The report of the Dundee committee on Erie affairs has
been made in England, and they favor the funding of coupons
and a foreclosure on the Watkin plan. The stock sold down
here to 16^.
Aside from the market influences, and the continued depression
in mercantile business, including the coal trade and mining,
there seems to bf- nothing to cause a large decline in values.
Kailroad earnings, as fully reported on another page, are, upon
the whole, quite satisfactory; the express companies claim a
larger business than usual; while telegraphing is not likely to
decline, nor the receipts of Western Union to be largely diminished.
Tlie granger stocks are also expected to reap the benefit of the
higher rates in Wisconsin, ivhich went into effect about the first
of this month. The market, at present prices, offers inducements
for clique purchases to start an upward movement, though no
evidences of such a purpose have yet come to our notice.

report of tlie Receiver, Mr. J. H. Devereui, la an elaborate
document giving the operations from 10th December, 1874, to
3l8t December, 1875, from which we obtain the following:
la brieflj commenting upon the financial results of this period,
it is remarked that the low rates on freight, and the miners'
strike in the Mahoning Valley, were causes for small receipts.
Prom December 10, 1874, to June 3«, 1875, the Cleveland &
Mahoning Valley road showed an actual loss in operation of
$12,807 38. But, the miners resuming work during the latter
part of June, the result of the following month (July) upon the
Mahoning Division was a surplus earning over and above all
expenses and rental, of |43,878 92.
During 1874 the rate upon local freight traffic was 1.636 cents
per ton per mile, and upon through Ireight but .837 cents per
ton per mile. And yet. mainly from the efFects of a disastrous
trunk line rivalry, the rate for 1875 upon through freight is seen
to be .694 cents per ton per mile, and the average rate of all freight
has fallen to 1'015 cents per ton per mile.
If but the exceedingly low freight rates of 1874 had prevailed,
the net earnings would have been increased by $615,132 39.
It would seem fair, therefore, to regard the net revenue of the
year's operations as exceptional, whilst in the thorough and faithlol maintenance of the road, its equipment and appurtenancee,
jiidicious care has been given, and no needed expenditure has
been withheld.
The largest portion of the equipment used on the lines is under
lease, paying a rental equivalent to 15 per cent of the value of
such cars and locomotive engines at their cost of some years ajro,
(much higher than the current value of to-day), and with such
equipment maintained to standard at the expense of the lessee.

the Baltimore & Ohio Railroaa Company, to recover the Slate'sone-fifth of the passenger fares of the Washington branch, sinceJanucry 1, 1870, was tried in the Howard County Circuit Court,
last week, and decision rendered against the company, which ha»
taken an appeal to the Court of Appeals of Maryland. The
amount involved in the pending suit is over $95,000, includingaccrued interest, and in all the cases the amount, with interest,
aggregates over $800,000.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad directors, on April 12, resolved
to give up the Valley road from Harrisburg to Staunton, rather
than retain it on the terms demanded by the Valley Railroad
Company.

Indianapolis Bloomlngton & Western.— Receiver Wright
has made a report for the three months ending March 1. In that

says " We have had scarcely one week of steady cold weather
and frozen ground, so open and mild has been the season. It is
believed that not one-fifth of the crops of the last season have yet
been moved. Notwithstanding this, the inci"ease of earninf^ for
the three months over the corresponding period of 1875 was
$83,730 73. Hiid the weather been cold and the country roads
S'->lid, the increase would undoubtedly have been more than double
this.
The amount disbursed on back pay-rolls, up to the first of
March, was $24,319 60. Since that time the weather has been so
unf«vorable for business that the receiver has not been able to
continue the payment of a monthly dividend as was expected.
The entire issue of receiver's certificates thus far is $203,200.
The total amoun; maturing since their Issue, $77,400 38, were
promptly met as they fell due. The remainder ot the issue will
mature through this year and until March, 1877.

provisions for an import duty on tea and coffee striclsen out, has

Committee of Ways and iMeans. These measures, especially the

THE CHRONICLE

378

The market this week has been quiet for cotton on the spot,
and quotations have been reduced Jc. as compared with last
Friday, namely, l-16c. on Monday and l-16c. on Tuesday. An
advance in exchange, and slightly easier ocean freights, have
enabled shippers to do a little business at this decline, but the
close yesterday was without demand, except from home spinners
who, in anticipation of a holiday, purchased rather more freely.
Today, being Good Friday, the Cotton Exchange is closed. For
future delivery prices show a decline of unusual severity. The
annoanceaient that the waters of the Mississippi had begun to
recede at Cairo, was regarded as putting an end to all dangers of
a disastrous flood, and there was a steady decline for the first
three days. On Wednesday some reaction at Liverpool was
reported, with an advance for " arrivals;" the Mississippi was
reported above the danger line between Vicksburg and Memphis
gold was higher; and there was the natural demand to cover

The wheat market has been variable from day to day, and yet
in the aggregate shows very little change for the week.
There
has, however, been more improvement in tone. The advance in
gold and exchange, and the decline in ocean freights to minimum
rates, have caused some increase in the export demand, and a little
strengthening of prices of regular grades. But the most notable

THE DRY GOODS TRADE.
Fbidat. p. M., April

The past week has shown a slight Improvemeat in the package
trade, and the jobbing branches have been ratlier more active.
This is due to several causes. In the first place, the weather has

the country a fair consumptive demand has been

has much improved, and orders for liberal amounts of merchandise
have been received from jobbers in that section, while the near-by
trade have also been freer buyers, and moderate sales have been
made to Southern jobbers. Retail buyers have been cautious in
their operations, taking smaller amounts than would probably
have been the case with a steadier market for leading domestic
productions. Au important circular has been issued by a number
of prominent commission houses, representing many of the
principal New England manufacturing corporations, in which
jobbers are politely requested to abandon the system of sending
giving quotations for leading makes of
less than their real market value
system which has been fraught with mischief to the entire trade.
Very large quantities of foreign goods were pressed to sale
through the auction rooms, where they met with ready sale at
>ow prices. The death of Mr. A. T. Stewart created a profound

popular makes of four-yard brown slieetings and fine bleached

»des, which were very dull and Conestogo tickings were
ubjscted to a reduction of about |c., aside from which quotations
were fairly maintained. Corset jeans were in steady demand,
and there was rather more animation in quilts, piques, etc.
Soiled jacconets and glazed cambrics changed hands in moderate
tots, and were steady in price.
Grain bags, carpet warps and
twines were a trifle more active in jobbers' hands. Print cloths
were quiet, although some lots were bought by speculators at 31c.
easb and 3J, 60 days' for standard 64s., at which prices the
market closed. The print market continued in an unsettled and
unsatisfactory condition, and further standard makes were
leduced, viz. Merrimack D fancies to 6, Arnold's and Hartel's
fancies to 6J, and Mallory pinks, etc., to 6^. Jobbers continued to
•ffer job lots of fancy and shirting standard prints of certain
